Make a Fake Smile

Of all the small movements you can make to improve your mood the fake smile is the easiest. Sometimes, you have to fake it till you make it and forcing yourself to smile even when you don’t feel like it can often produce a lighter mood.

2

Stick a Pen between Your Teeth

If you can’t muster even a fake smile, trick your brain in to thinking you are smiling by putting a pen between your teeth. The positive signals are still sent.

3

Call upon Treasured Memories

In your lowest moments try to conjure memories of happier times. Reliving them in your head can instantly brighten your mood.

4

Give Yourself a Hug

Did you know that hugging yourself can actually ease physical pain? Crossing your own hands over your body can confuse your brain’s ability to send pain signals.

5

Give Yourself a Break

Another benefit of hugging yourself is that this small act of self-compassion can also work to reduce any psychological pain that you might be feeling.
